Origin
Words of Encouragement
You are not lost trying to find yourself through religious performance - you are already found in Christ! Stop wandering the cul-de-sac of law-based religion that loops endlessly without arriving at freedom. That dead-end street will never take you to your destination.
Understand your true origin - you were created in God's image and likeness, and Christ's redemption restored what was always meant to be. You're not becoming God's image; you ARE God's image redeemed in human form. This is the gospel's clear revelation!
Don't let false religious traditions obscure your view of who you really are. Jesus removed the veil so you could see clearly, but religion quickly tries to replace it with new rules and regulations. Refuse to accept re-veiling! Stay in the light of gospel truth.
The survival and self-improvement programs of religious systems exploit ignorance about redeemed innocence. You don't need to survive through rule-keeping or improve yourself through human effort - Christ already accomplished everything. You're innocent, redeemed, and complete in Him.
Holy Spirit lives within you not just for personal blessing but to shine Kingdom light through you that unveils lies binding others. Your light isn't meant to be hidden under religious performance or fear but displayed publicly to expose deception and reveal truth.
Remember the children's song and its profound simplicity - "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine!" Your light may seem small, but when combined with Holy Spirit's power, it becomes bright enough to blind the adversary and free those trapped in darkness.
Stop trying to uphold outdated religious systems out of stubbornness or familiarity. They veil minds and exploit ignorance about true identity. Break free from circular thinking and embrace the clear, simple gospel - God's glory is His image and likeness redeemed in you!
Let your light shine so brightly that it overwhelms the enemy's schemes, exposes his lies, and renders his tactics ineffective. The adversary operates in darkness; your Kingdom light blinds his operation and sets captives free!
